Attach Landscape Timbers to Foundation?

My home is on a hill and I'm considering terracing alongside the home which has a concrete block foundation. If I elect to use presure treated landscape timbers, is it typical to attach them to the foundation? Are there alternate approaches to make sure it doesn't move (deadmen every other course near the foundation wall for example)?

You don't want to attach them for a multitude of reasons. Just install a deadman about every 8' of length on about every 3rd layer, alternating the locations. The deadman anchors should be about 4' long with a cross block on the back end. Also, don't forget to pin the layers together. An easy way is to drill holes in drive in rebar.
